McKay Bros' Grist Mill
Description
Number 14 on the Burleigh map, mill site is one of the older landmarks in Caledonia. It was built in 1801 by Col. Charles Williamson, who was agent for Lord William Pultney concerning a massive tract of land--sold to Scottish immigrants on favorable terms. Williamson sold the mill to John McKay ca. 1803, and it passed along to his son John Jr. and then to grandsons who installed modern rolling equipment in 1886. As of 1892, its capacity was some 48 barrels of wheat flour per day, along with many tons of animal feed.
